In a road accident on Monday, actor Vaibhavi Upadhyaya, best known for the television series Sarabhai vs Sarabhai: Take 2, passed away in Himachal Pradesh.
Upadhyaya died in the Banjar area of Kullu district when the car she was traveling in with her fiance, businessman Jay Gandhi, fell into a gorge. The accident occurred while negotiating a steep curve. He survived the accident with some injuries.
"Vaibhavi tried to get out of the vehicle through the window and sustained a head injury which proved fatal while the other passenger was safe," SP Kullu Sakshi Verma told PTI.
The last rites of the actor, who was in her 30s, will be held in Mumbai on Wednesday, added Verma.
On Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, Upadhyaya starred as Jasmine Mawani, the love interest of Rosesh, played by Rajesh Kumar.
Her fiery character would often crack up viewers with her foot-in-the-mouth literal Gujarati to English translations. Upadhyaya's Jasmine was also popular for the Gujarati catchphrase 'Khot nat kehti (I speak the truth)' and for standing up to the family matriarch, the elite Maya Sarabhai (Ratna Pathak Shah).
Upadhyaya's acting credits also include the Deepika Padukone starrer Chhapaak and TV shows such as CID and Adaalat.
Condolences from the film and TV industry as well as from netizens started pouring in after the actor's sudden demise.
We at the Su-Niti News pay our deepest condolences.
